When trying to do a recursive copy from local disk to nfs, I receive
several errors like this trying to create directories:
UX:mkdir: ERROR: Cannot create directory "directory_name": Value too
large for defined data type
Truss reports mkdir failing with error #79 (EOVERFLOW).
I have tried mounting the nfs filesystem with 1K, 2K, 4K, and 8K blocks,
as well as both caching and not caching the attributes.
If anyone has solved a similar problem, your help would be greatly
appreciated.

Your problem does not sound to me like a blocksize related
one.
How 'big' is the directory on the Solaris 7 box? How long
is the name of the directory? Is the S7 box running a
64 bit kernel? Do you have >2GB support enabled on the UW
box?
